a one-of-a-kind evening of remembrance, renewal & reunion

IN 2022, WE WERE over the moon to bring Light in the Grove back AS AN IN-PERSON, INDOOR/OUTDOOR REUNION after two years of creative re-envisioning!

Light in the Grove returned on the evening of November 30, 2022, as a tented, indoor/outdoor magical celebration of Reunion, Remembrance, and Renewal in the National AIDS Memorial Grove. Held annually on the eve of World AIDS Day, it is our largest annual fundraising event, with all proceeds directly supporting the mission and programs of the National AIDS Memorial.

This unique and inspiring experience has been recognized, twice, as the Bay Area’s best LGBTQ+ community fundraising events. Mark your calendars for November 30, 2023!
